Don,

        You are getting along in age, San Antonio when Lou was the Key Note
was a number of years back.  I am thinking Fall 94, October 16-20 which was
our last big peak in attendance according to the 1998 Annual Report.  An
fit's with Anne's term as president, As I seem to recall her on stage with
Lou.

        Next you need glasses, the NEW COMMON WEB SITE (www.common.org) is
on an AS/400 Model 720
4/way in an LPAR configuration.  The Front Page has the powered by AS/400
Logo and The Lansa Logo.
As well as AS/400 banner advertising in the center top...  But I will talk
to people about making the AS/400 Logo Bigger (More prominent) just for you
Don.. Also, we will be bringing Domino up under the Web page for survey, and
discussion groups, maybe a ask the experts, only on-line instead of at CUDs.
Any one want to volunteer to help (Send me a note off-line)...

        Sound Off *** Will be what ever the attendees, NOT THE PERENNIAL
PRESENTERS, but the attendees
make it.  It is their meeting. Most of the rest of us get to talk to IBM way
to often as it is !!  (Me Included !!)

        CMC and MOM are the vehicles to present at,  come with a plan !!!

        Baltimore is the  40th anniversary of "Common, A User Group" . Why
not make October 22-26th 2000, an opportunity to give Common a new member
driven direction.
